He\u2019d been hiding there for three nights, ducking back in every time someone got close. By the time a good Samaritan finally coaxed him out, True Rescue\u2019s intake window for the day had closed 27 minutes earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kristen Condit, the rescue\u2019s director of operations, made the call anyway. \u201cHe\u2019s just over four weeks old. He\u2019s defenseless. He probably wouldn\u2019t make it through another night on the ground on his own,\u201d she said. She and Executive Director Amy Simcik agreed without hesitation, and that night, instead of going back outside, the kitten went home with a foster family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s the kind of decision that happens more often than you\u2019d think at True Rescue. In just over six years, the nonprofit has grown from an idea into one of Middle Tennessee\u2019s busiest animal rescues, currently caring for nearly 450 cats and kittens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/11\/1-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24241\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photography by Ashleigh Newnes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A RESCUE BUILT TO FILL THE GAP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Condit and Simcik met years ago while volunteering with another rescue, one that handled criminal cruelty cases but had no way to take in the average stray or surrendered pet. Watching that need go unmet day after day planted the idea for something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were physically seeing the demand for intake in Middle Tennessee every day,\u201d Condit said. \u201cThe rescue really came from a need for meeting the need where the need lies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True Rescue opened in May 2020 as a dog-and-cat rescue. Within the first year, the team realized where the real gap was: cats, and especially kittens, were arriving faster than any nearby shelter could keep up with. So the mission narrowed and deepened. Today, True Rescue is almost entirely feline-focused, one of the only rescues in the region built specifically around cats. Simcik and Condit both credit its staying power to the same \u201clegacy\u201d fosters and volunteers who have been showing up since the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a family group of people,\u201d Condit said. \u201cA core group of volunteers and fosters that have been with us from day one, and they believe the same things we do: that cats deserve better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HUNDREDS OF CATS, ONE FULL-CIRCLE MISSION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between its two properties and more than 100 foster homes, True Rescue keeps close to 450 cats and kittens in its care at any given time and adopts out an average of 125 a month. Every adoption immediately opens a spot for the next cat on the waiting list, something Condit calls \u201ca full-circle rescue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhatever animal you choose to take home, it\u2019s one for two,\u201d she said, \u201cbecause you\u2019re not only saving the animal you\u2019re adopting, you\u2019re allowing us to replace that spot almost immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the model \u2014 the shelter is never empty for long, by design. As soon as one cat heads home, another moves in from a foster or a waiting list that Condit says numbers in the thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/11\/4-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24244\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photography by Ashleigh Newnes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WHAT\u2019S NEXT: AN AFFORDABLE VET CLINIC AND A GROWING CONFERENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True Rescue\u2019s next major goal is to open an affordable veterinary clinic for the community, offering everything from spay-and-neuter services to dental care and lab work at accessible prices. Funding is already earmarked, and the team is finishing repairs to the building before turning its full attention to the clinic. It\u2019s a piece of a much bigger picture. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals estimates that tens of millions of community cats live outdoors across the U.S., and wider access to spay-and-neuter care is one of the clearest ways to reduce that number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meantime, the rescue\u2019s Ultimate Cat Conference returned for its third year, Oct. 2 through 4 at Cumberland University\u2019s Alumni Center in Lebanon. What started as an outline sketched by Condit and Simcik on the drive home from a disappointing national conference has grown into a three-day event that draws attendees from across the country. This year\u2019s lineup brings back Jackson Galaxy for his second year, alongside behaviorist Pam Johnson-Bennett, Sterling \u201cTrapKing\u201d Davis, and other national names in feline rescue and behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Galaxy has left his mark on the shelter in smaller ways, too. His signature wand toys are such a hit with True Rescue\u2019s cats that staff can\u2019t use them in the shelter\u2019s communal rooms. \u201cI don\u2019t know what science or madness is behind the way the feathers are threaded,\u201d Condit said, laughing, \u201cbut the cats go crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/11\/2-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24242\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photography by Ashleigh Newnes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HOW TO GET INVOLVED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True Rescue is open 365 days a year from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., including holidays, and welcomes visitors and tours at any time.
